Naples Offshore Fishing Charters

Grouper, Snapper, Kingfish, and More!

Naples, Florida is the perfect launching spot for heading offshore in search of big fish. This area is a gateway to the deep where some of the state’s finest offshore gamefish reside.

Typically on a full day offshore charter the catches tend to be better and the fish are a bit larger. We will usually target snapper, grouper, amberjack, ,and cobia to name a few.

This trip is great for a family as well as the more diehard anglers looking to bring some fresh fish home for dinner. The “Jobsite” was custom built to get you out to the fishing grounds fast ,dry and comfortable.

One of the most popular season favorites is Red Snapper. Though Red Snapper can be caught anytime, there is a Red Snapper season that dictates when and where these fish can be brought home. Please contact us if any questions regarding Red Snapper fishing out of Naples, Florida.

Some of the Species Available to Catch Offshore in Naples

Grouper

Naples, Florida offers some of the finest offshore fishing for grouper in the Gulf. Bottom fishing for these hard fighting and tasty monsters is a staple for offshore fisherman to target here.

The types of grouper that can be caught, but are not limited to, include:

Snapper

This area of the Gulf is known for great snapper fishing. Naples Fishing Boat is also a federally approved red snapper fishing charter operation. When it comes to red snapper fishing, you can definitely expect to load up during the allowable season. The rest of the year we can still provide you with coolers full of fresh snapper.

Some of the kinds of snapper caught offshore in Naples include:

Red Snapper

Mangrove Snapper

Lane Snapper

Mutton Snapper

Kingfish

Kingfish, or King Mackerel, can be caught nearly all year here in Naples. These are a pelagic species that cruise the surface, and when hooked up – they fight like a cruise missile.

The best time to fish for Kingfish here in Naples is during the cooler months, but this isn’t restricted to just “winter”. You can expect to catch kingfish during peak times that include the stretch from September all the way through to May, that’s nine months of “peak season”.

Amberjack

Amberjack is another popular species here in the Naples offshore fishery, and are one of the targeted species during our offshore fishing trips. These are hard fighters that have been known to come to the surface, but spend most of their time on deep structure. Amberjack are also known as the “reef donkey”. As the name implies, they are found on reefs a majority of the time, and kick like a donkey when hooked up. These fish also get massive in size.

Amberjack’s will readily eat lures and bait. Naples is home to both migratory and a resident population of AJ’s. Amberjack fishing does peak during the winter months, generally from November through March.

Cobia

If there is one thing for sure, our anglers love catching cobia. This is another pelagic species that is a highly sought after offshore species here in Naples. This is another species that both readily takes both live and artificial baits, and puts up a great fight.

Cobia also make for excellent table fare. Whether broiled, grilled, or sauteed – these fish are a favorite for seafood lovers.

Naples fishing boat regularly targets this species, but there are better times to catch them throughout the year. For instance, the over winter months make a great time to target cobia
